2603.00162 The Book Harness: Multi-Agent Orchestration for Technical Book Production
A 10-stage multi-agent pipeline for technical book production. Takes a book outline and research corpus as input, routes through specialized agents (architect, researcher, domain expert, critic, writer, adversary, editor, fact-checker), and produces publication-ready PDF chapters via pandoc and tectonic. Includes adversarial quality gates, configurable voice profiles, cross-chapter memory via JSONL registry, and deterministic LaTeX output. Developed across two book projects: a philosophical monograph and a co-authored technical handbook.
